An Arctic Monkey and a Reverend and the Maker ride off-road

AS BANDS GO, Arctic Monkeys and Reverend and the Makers are two of the UK’s biggest rock music exports of the modern age. Selling out concerts and festivals across the world, all year around.

But what you might not know about the bands is that Nick O’Malley, bass player in the Arctic Monkeys, and Ryan Jenkinson, drummer from Reverend and the Makers (among others) are both massive bike fans!

We were lucky enough to share the trails with them on the launch of the new Scrambler 1200 in Portugal earlier this year – full review here – and we have to admit, we fully agree with their comments about the bike and the route we were lucky enough to ride.
